My entry can't possibly be this normal!

In the back hall of the Foundry Alliance at this time.

The atmosphere was more tense than ever before, as if the air itself had frozen.

Even the beautiful receptionist, who always wore a professional smile, couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

She glanced at Bai Xiaoxian and whispered, "Aren't you... scared?"

"Such a high-stakes gamble, if lost, I'm afraid even selling the entire Qingyun Sect wouldn't be enough to pay for it..."

Bai Xiaoxian chuckled.

"My master is known as the legendary big fat sheep. He always loses when he gambles and has never won a single time."

"However, you've all heard about how Qingyun Sect made a name for itself at the last sect advancement conference after Master Chang made his move, right?"

The beautiful receptionist was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"That's true, but..."

Bai Xiaoxian said nonchalantly, "Master always loses when he gambles, while Elder Uncle always wins."

"I'm not worried at all."

"The one who should be worried is Jiang Tianting from the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion!"

"Oh, and there's also that Elder Jin Wuque from the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce!"

"They're both dead!"

The beautiful receptionist couldn't help but be extremely curious.

"Is that Li Ping'an truly invincible?"

Bai Xiaoxian: "Unless he is my master, Master Chang is invincible!"

"...But didn't you just say that your master always loses when gambling, while your senior uncle always wins?"

Bai Xiaoxian: "Ahem, you wouldn't understand..."

The beautiful receptionist smiled sweetly: "Is that so..."

"I'm becoming more and more interested in this Master Li Ping'an..."

……

At this moment, Zhao Liuhe was also drenched in sweat.

Their Huangtian Sect has now completely submitted to the Qingyun Sect. Not only have they been spared the punishment of being forced to serve as slaves, but they have also cooperated with the Qingyun Sect to reform the sect's system, improve cultivation efficiency, pay off all their past debts, and even started a business mining Crimson Fire Copper Mine, which is gradually becoming profitable.

Even so, Li Ping'an's gamble was terrifying...

This is tantamount to making enemies of both the Marquis of Wuwei's Mansion and the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce at the same time!

Either of those two could crush Huang Tianzong eighteen times over with just a flick of their little finger!

He could only pray silently...

"Li Ping'an, Elder Li, Master Li... you mustn't lose..."

……

Under the leadership of Grand Elder Yu Tianji of the Dao Casting Alliance.

Under the focused observation of Elder Ren Tianxing of the Heavenly Dao Sect and Elder Fang Caomu of the Pill God Tower.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Liuhe, Bai Xiaoxian, Jiang Tianting, and the beautiful receptionist...

This earth-shattering gamble has finally begun.

Jin Wuque has burned his bridges; there's no turning back now, and besides...

He also has his own pride.

"Li Ping'an, I've heard about your exploits. None of the magical treasures you've crafted are legitimate. You won by taking shortcuts and cheating. I don't know what's so great about that!"

"I, Jin Wuque, have been an eighth-grade blacksmith for twenty years, and have long since reached the pinnacle. Whether it is the crafting of magic weapons or the fusion of inscriptions, I have the ability to approach that of a seventh-grade blacksmith!"

"You want to gamble with me? You're just asking for humiliation!"

Li Ping'an was also greatly alarmed.

"what?!"

"It's been twenty years since you were promoted to an eighth-rank Dao Forging Master?!"

"Then why haven't you advanced to the seventh rank yet?!"

"You don't want to?!"

Jin Wuque flew into a rage: "You!"

Bai Xiaoxian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The beautiful receptionist couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Liuhe gave a bitter smile.

He understood, of course, that this was both sides exchanging trash talk, with the aim of influencing each other's mindset and intimidating the enemy.

Because the Dao Forger cultivates the divine soul.

They are easily influenced by external factors, affecting their spirit, will, soul, emotions, and thoughts...

All of these will affect the crafting of magical artifacts and the forging of their attributes.

Unfortunately, Li Ping'an's words completely shut Jin Wuque up, almost making him spit out a mouthful of blood!

Jiang Tianting sneered, "Elder Jin, don't waste your breath on him!"

"This kid's all talk and no action!"

Li Ping'an laughed and said, "Isn't the Dragon Roar Golden Spear I forged hard?"

"I heard you got beaten so badly by it that you passed out?"

Jiang Tianting's face immediately turned bright red: "You!"

Ren Tianxing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Fang Caomu, fearing he would lose the bet, hurriedly said, "Elder, shall we begin?"

Yu Tianji was watching the show with a smile when he suddenly remembered that he was supposed to be the host.

"Ahem, let the refining begin!"

……

A suspended dragon-patterned bracelet!

As Jin Wuque said, this is considered a top-tier item among all storage treasures!

Storage magic items are not particularly rare, but they come in a wide variety of types and are clearly categorized by level.

For example, storage rings, storage bags, storage bracelets, etc.

It has strict classifications in terms of storage space size, access speed, confidentiality, and sturdiness, making it a jewel in the crown of the weapon-refining world!

Li Ping'an knew that the most top-tier storage magic treasures were connected to a small world!

Inside, there is a world of its own, full of wonders and mysteries!

Of course, he can't do that right now, but...

He is far superior to Jin Wuque!

Jin Wuque proceeded cautiously to begin refining the magic weapon. He was indeed extremely experienced, and his skills had reached a level of consummate mastery.

Even Yu Tianji and Ren Tianxing, among others, nodded in admiration upon seeing it.

To be honest, Li Ping'an's experience was far behind his, and his skills didn't seem to be as superb as Li Ping'an's.

However, the strange thing is...

Even if Li Ping'an's technique was rough and every step seemed unsatisfactory, every finished product he made was flawless and could be called the best!

This is a given.

Because of Li Ping'an's high success rate in refining magical artifacts...

It's also 100%!

Jin Wuque was originally full of confidence and had an absolute advantage over Li Ping'an because he could see that the other party's technique was immature.

However, as he crafted each mechanical component, his smile faded...

Even for oneself, there is no guarantee of absolute success in refining magical artifacts.

But Li Ping'an seems to be able to...

This feeling is like watching a child scribble or doodle randomly, but the finished product is as bizarre as a masterpiece by an art master...

Jin Wuque was sweating profusely...

Fortunately, with his more than 20 years of experience, he managed to complete the main body of the suspended dragon pattern bracelet without any major incidents, after exhausting all the materials.

The next step is the crucial final step...

Fusion casting of entries!

At this time, Li Ping'an had not yet finished refining it.

Jin Wuque smiled slightly.

Forging and refining entries was a stage where he was even more confident than when he was crafting magical artifacts!

As a top-tier eighth-grade blacksmith, not only can he almost always successfully forge blue attributes, but even...

Occasionally, it can even successfully create green entries!

This time, in order to win this incredible gamble completely and convince everyone without any room for argument, he decided to challenge himself and end the entire competition with a flawless green entry!

Jin Wuque was surrounded by dazzling golden light, and his divine soul power had already connected with the Heavenly Dao.

The vast ocean of terms appeared once again in his mind.

"Green, green, green..."

"It's here!"

Jin Wuque roared, unleashing his divine soul power to its limit, transforming it into tentacles that reached out to grab the perfect green term in his mind!

at last……

A burst of green light flashed and filled the entire space of the Path Forging Alliance!

It merged perfectly with the suspended dragon-patterned bracelet in his hand, becoming one with it!

"It's done!"

"I'm done!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Jin Wuque laughed heartily, then handed the final, perfect product to Yu Tianji with both hands.

Yu Tianji received it with his Yuan Qi and magical power, and examined it with his Dharma Eye. He couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

"it is good!"

"What a magnificent suspended dragon-patterned bracelet!"

"It is indeed perfect, without any flaws!"

"Elder Jin's title of 'Flawless' is truly well-deserved!"

"Moreover, it actually succeeded in fusing this green inscription, which is perfectly suited for the suspended dragon pattern bracelet..."

"【No leaks】!"
